Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 1131

He knew it wouldn't be easy for them to grow old together, so he had been preparing for this long in advance.

The reason for choosing Prince Ling was because Prince Ling was infatuated with his deceased wife and had not remarried for many years. He felt that since Prince Ling had his deceased wife in his heart, he would not have any feelings for Cui Yuqing, and he also made it clear that Cui Yuqing was his woman.

Yun Xiyue asked, "So...you two actually have a marital relationship?"

Cui Yuqing blushed slightly and nodded shyly, "Yes...we also have a daughter..."

The night before he came to Daxia as a hostage.

She was heartbroken and couldn't bear to see him suffer.

But if she didn't do this, the Imperial Advisor wouldn't let her off the hook.

Fearing that her father would force her to marry someone else, Cui Yan arranged for the two to hold a wedding ceremony in the Buddhist hall with Madam Cui's approval.

They became husband and wife, but Madam Cui did not tell the Imperial Advisor or the rest of the Cui family about it.

"After that night... I became pregnant, and I secretly gave birth to the child in the Buddhist hall. My mother was very happy, and the child is now living with my mother in the Cui family."

"Later I was sent away and imprisoned. I don't know what happened during that time. On the way to Daxia, he didn't say a word to me, and he didn't even acknowledge our daughter... I was really angry and sad... But when we finally arrived in Daxia, I was also heartbroken to see him marry someone else."

"He agreed to marry Pei Fang because he was worried that Prince Ling would change his mind and hurt me. That's why he agreed to the Pei family's request."

There's also the option of turning the tables and taking a woman back with you.

It is said to be a marriage arranged by the Great Xia Dynasty.

That way, the Cui family won't force him to marry someone else.

Back in Dongling Kingdom, Pei Fang will take the brunt of all the open and hidden attacks for her. When the time is right, she will use Pei Fang to exchange for Cui Yuqing. Everything is under Cui Yan's control.

But on the day of the replacement, Prince Ling changed his mind.

He even took over himself on the road.

After learning that she was not a virgin, Murong Ling was furious.

Having been defiled, Cui Yuqing felt like dying, but she couldn't bear to leave her daughter and wanted to go back.

She was taken back to the capital by Prince Ling in a daze, only then did she realize that she was pregnant.

Yun Xiyue felt sorry for her; as a woman, her experiences were very difficult for others to bear.

"So why did you summon me here? Do you want to return to Dongling Kingdom or stay in Daxia?"

Cui Yuqing smiled bitterly, "I just want Cui Yan to return to Dongling safely..."

As long as he lives, their daughter can still have someone to rely on and won't be bullied.

"I'm afraid this will be difficult."

Yunxi Yue expressed that she was unable to help.

"Your story is truly moving and inspiring, but you are now the Princess Consort of Ling."

"And Cui Yan will also have to pay the price for what he did. Whether he was forced or did it on his own, he has hurt a lot of innocent people."

Cui Yuqing cried, "Your Majesty... I beg you. If you plead with the Emperor, he will surely listen to you."

Yun Xiyue looked troubled. "Then I have no reason..."

“I can persuade him to tell your Grand Preceptor’s secret,” Cui Yuqing pleaded, grabbing her sleeve.

Yun Xiyue sighed, "We'll have to wait until you're feeling better. There's no rush."

Cui Yan is in a prison cell.

They are now under strict surveillance.

It would be difficult for others to save him, and the news had already reached Dongling Kingdom.

The Cui family will try to save him.

"Your Majesty, Prince Ling has arrived."

Prince Ling did not stay in the palace, but went back to live there, since his son was still in the palace and needed someone to look after him.
